Disciplined Duelist - for Magic: The Gathering's Streets of New Capenna AD: Sarah Wassell The first painting I completed for Magic and still one of my favourites.

A man strides across a dimly lit hallway, brandishing magical gauntlets. He rolls up a sleeve in anticipation of a fight to come. The shapes of the composition are angular and art-deco-inspired.

Nice. I just decided to go with Fourthwall for direct sales, and I believe they offer memberships too. But I've considered Payhip and might switch if Fourthwall mucks it up.

That sounds frustrating and awful. I'm sorry they AI'd the site the gills. Which platform did you switch to?

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

We've been eating onions from our garden for a couple months, but I just harvested what was left. Behold! Box of Onions! (Walla Walla Sweet)

box filled with plump, delicious onions that still have roots and some dirt on them.

I think people are nice because they are nice (not because of any other thing or reason.) And there are some people who will never be nice no matter what, and some who use their "niceness" to manipulate.

Our neighbor leaves these little toys in the corner of their yard so kids walking by can stop and play. They have a lovely low concrete wall to sit on and lots of rocks for the cars to ramble over.

One large gray rock with flat spots where small toy cars, trucks, and airplanes rest waiting kiddos. Smaller round rocks surround the play space.

Colorful stickers on a pole at Brothers, Oregon. This is at the "Oasis" (a vault toilet rest stop). But look at that sky!

Metal light pole covered in stickers with a scrubby gold open prarie behind, distant montains and puffy clouds in a blue sky.

I just love this contrast of golden harvest against deep green forested hills. Oregon, you're a pretty thing. (Taken somewhere near Buell/Sheridan)

Golden hay (probably straw) field harvested and stacked into two huge bale cubes behind which are deep green forested hills against a blue and cloudy white sky.

Sunrise a few days ago. Clouds trying out some pre-autumn colors.

Sunrise with fire oranges, reds, and pinks centered beneath denim blue clouds. Tree tops and a few power lines frame the shot.

Thorin Oakenshield -{ #art | #illustration | #fantasy }-

An enormously-important-looking dwarf with white hair, a long braided white beard, thick eyebrows, light-blue eyes, holding a thick piece of oak as a shield and wearing a purple garment, a kingly light-blue hood cloak, a golden circlet with a blue stone in its center and black boots. He's a character from J.R.R. Tolkien's book "The Hobbit"

How you doin'? First deer I've ever seen in my yard and she's ready to rumble.

Young doe standing in a grassy green yard between a chair and a small red table. Deer is staring into the camera, her neck tilted to one side and one ear tipped back, making her look inquisitive.

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

It's a mess, but manageable. I hope your claim form is clear and easy to tackle!

Devon Monk @devonmonk.com · 09/09/2026

I got the claim form and there are problems. I seemed to have accidentally claimed full ownership of a couple anthos (you're in some of them too!) when I was just trying to claim my story 100%. Sigh. I'll go in and fix that. Also Harper Collins claims to have published 2 of my books (they didn't)

I feel like I should write a country song about this pothole in my neighborhood. "Pothole of My Heart." "Pothole of Love." "Concretely Yours"

Lol. No worries! All donuts are good donuts, and I'm glad we tried the truck. We tried the corndog truck too, and I like corndogs fine...but I loved the truck's corndogs!

Devon Monk @devonmonk.com · 07/09/2026

Yep. I wasn't trashing on the donuts, lol. Just saying they were delicious, but for me, too sweet.

New doughnut food truck in town. Gotta try them all! (They were delicious and fresh but turned out to be too sweet for me. More like tiny cake desserts than doughnuts.)

So many donoughts. Just oodles of them in black carry out boxes.

Anthropic question. Did anyone else get the email from: BulkClaimFiling@anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com? Were your instructions to request a claim form via phone or that email?

111

Devon Monk @devonmonk.com · 06/09/2026

I've received an email telling me something is contested, and instructing me to request the claim form so I can see what is contested. I just haven't received the claim form yet. I'm guessing the contested bit is something to do with anthologies...

Devon Monk @devonmonk.com · 06/09/2026

I am still waiting for my Anthropic requested claim form so I can look at what's been contested. Anyone else still waiting?

For those of us involved in the Anthropic AI settlement, @courtneymilan.com’s commentary and analysis have been invaluable. If you’re part of the settlement and not following her, you should remedy that.

The fact that Anthropic was able to cough up a billion dollars so easily reminds me again that we need to be taxing rich people at 90% again.
